§ SIR DE LACY EVANSsaid, he wished to ask the noble Lord at the head of Her Majesty's Government on what day he proposed to move a Vote of Thanks to the Army in India? His reason more particularly for asking this question was, that he understood last night the noble Lord intended to bring from Her Majesty a recommendation to the House to vote a pension of £1,000 a year to General Have-lock. That was a proposition in which he was sure every Member of that House would most cordially concur; but he believed that General Havelock would feel greater gratification if, in regard to this question of rewards for services in India, he was not isolated, but that his name should be brought forward in connection with that of General Wilson and others, whenever the House should be called upon to declare its admiration of their gallant conduct.
§ VISCOUNT PALMERSTONI am sure that my hon. and gallant Friend will not suppose that the subject to which he has referred has escaped the attention of Her Majesty's Government, or that there can be the slightest hesitation or doubt on the part of the Government that this House must be most anxious to testify by a Vote of its high admiration of the services which has been performed in India. I will give due notice of the day on which I propose to move the Vote.
